There is almost no way Nintendo loses this lawsuit. Even if the joycons are designed similarly, they are solely for the Switch system. They are not taking ANY sales away from this company as their devices are for tablets. Just because the Nintendo Switch has better games, is better marketed, sells better, plays better, and has maybe swayed people to play it instead of mobile tablet games does not mean that you should sue them to try and keep your company afloat. I have literally never even heard of Gamevice, so maybe instead of blaming another company, they should work on getting their name out there and market instead. Nintendo is going to win this lawsuit without much of a hassle.

That's not how this works; if the scope of Gamevice's claims are broad enough, they encompass the Switch Joycon design. If Nintendo has a narrow claim for usage for a device for their system and the same for Gamevice, then there is no overlap of disclosure.

Issue is, they already admit their patent is narrower than this suit implies by indicating the use of a bridge joining the controller halves together, making them one device and are having to try and argue that the Switch's metal frame acts as the bridge even though it serves no such function and doesn't change the fact the Joy-Con are independent devices.
And that's just what they outright admitted in their own filing.
